Okay, so, my dream started like this. I know that gods don't usually dream, but I was more like spying. The whole twelve Olympians were sitting on their thrones, looking bored. Only Zeus and Dionysius were looking alert, which surprised me. The other gods were either minding their own business or yelling at each other. The Zeus cleared his throat.

"Silence." He said in an even voice, but it was loud enough. The gods fell silent and turned their gazes towards Zeus. "Something very… strange has come to my attention." He said and eyed everyone in the room. The other gods didn't look very frightened, though.

Zeus took a deep breath and continued. "There is this new girl at Camp Half-Blood." He said and searched for some kind of reaction from anybody. Their faces remained blank. "She claims that she senses other peoples' emotions and loyalties." Now his eyes were like steel. Some of the Olympians started fidgeting nervously. Everyone remained silent, tough. "And she claims that she meets with her father once in a year." This caused the whole room to shout, all at the same time. After a while Zeus was in the shouting too. The other gods wanted to know why this god has gotten away with meeting his child without a punishment and the king and queen just wanted to know who the idiotic enough god was. I could tell that they were already planning a punishment, and not a nice one.

Finally Hestia made the flames of the hearth grow taller that the gods, making them silent. "What are you saying, brother?" Hestia asked. She sounded excited.

"I don't believe the girl about his powers. We don't have a god that has all those areas." The room fell in silence for a while when Zeus said that. I started to snicker. "But we need to know who was the one braking ancient laws. Those laws are made for a reason and should not be broken."

"What are you proposing, brother?" Poseidon asked, eyeing him warily. Hades was sitting in a guest throne, looking alert and around the room like any of the gods would jump on him at any moment. It made sense, kind of, it wasn't the solace so he should not be there.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the camp." Zeus declared like it was the worst thing in the world. "Now you know how I feel…" Dionysius mumbled under his breath, still too loud to keep it to himself. Zeus glared at his son for a moment, before sighing and continuing with his speech. "I will demand the god to claim the girl. And if he does not, the girl will taste my master bolt." Said Zeus, obviously pleased with himself.

I started to growl. That man just made me so angry. If only I could behead him. Apollo glanced at the spot I was watching, brows furrowed. After a few seconds tough, he just shook his head and glared at Zeus. Maybe Apollo was not that bad as I used to think…

"That's madness!" Poseidon shouted. He looked a bit shaken. "You cannot just go and kill innocent children."

Zeus just glared at him. "I am your king." He reminded, making Hera grin. "Let's hope the father is smart enough to claim her, then."

Some of the gods looked like they wanted to protest, but Zeus cut them off before they had a chance to say anything. "Meeting adjourned." He said and not even a second later flashed away. Hera was the second to leave. Before I vanished from the spot, I felt Apollo's eyes on me again and I saw Poseidon's face. It looked sad.

I woke up next to Nelly, breathing heavily. I had gotten her out of the hospital a week ago. It has been nine day since Cara went to the camp. I was glad she was getting some proper training with swords and such, but the dream had me worried. I was certain, that today would be the day I punched Zeus in his royal face. The thought made me smile.

I got up and started making some breakfast. I tried to think what I was supposed to do now. I had always protected Cara, telling her what to do in a tricky situation. My power grew considerably when Cara was born. She attached me closer to this realm, and further away from fading. Tough Emerald and the sword did the trick, Cara made my power grow.

So along with the power I was able to protect her better. If a monster was nearby, I made it feel fear, or really tired or in some extreme cases hungry, so, like hellhound went fast away to find a more confident snack. Fear and anger are easy to make others feel, but positive feelings were much harder and more exhausting. I could make someone feel hunger, even if it is not really an emotion. But it was tricky and took a lot of concentration. And feeling love was hard too, impossible if it was not already there.

And the time Cara and I spent together made me stronger, too. And I was the happiest with her. I really do love her, I thought as I set the table. I was glad that Cara was good with people. She had gotten a lot of friends already at the camp, so I doubted Zeus would just zap her with too much electricity. Some of her friends were Zeus' own kids.

"Morning." I heard Nelly say behind me. I turned around a smile on my face. She was still a beauty, but I tried to keep my hands off her. I didn't want to make her a single mom of two.

"Hey." I replayed and got back to the eggs and bacon. I had made some pancakes too. She sat on the table and took some food on her plate. "You seem nervous." She said after a while. I faced her and tried to smile the best I could. "You are nervous." She said as she noticed my hand going to my hair. I cursed a little and shrugged. "It's nothing." Nelly eyed me warily but dropped the subject.

We were talking a little when I heard a booming voice in my head. The sire of this child, claim the girl now and face your punishment. I cocked my head to the side, eyebrows furrowed. "Percy?" I heard Nelly say. Why so soon, I thought as I stood up. At least I could teleport again…

"Percy, what are you doing?" Nelly asked her eyes staying on me. "I have to go." I said and smiled apologetically and started walking towards the back yard. "Bye…" I heard Nelly say behind me.

Percy, you can't go there! Emerald shouted at me making me groan. "Low the volume, please." I said and glared the ring, Emerald's disguise. They will take you! Emerald tried once again.

"It would do no good. I already have a child." I answered as I was in the back yard. The fences were great, so I couldn't kill someone accidentally. Percy please…

"Emerald, you can always protect me. And I will not just stay away when my girl is in trouble. I will go there and protect her." I almost growled at Emerald. There was a pause. I was waiting for Emerald to say something. NOW! I heard Zeus shout in my head. Go Percy. Emerald all but commanded me. I tried to concentrate, but it had been so long since my last teleportation. Thank the gods it was like riding a bike.

It felt good to flash away again, but the joy did not last. In matter of seconds I found myself in the dining pavilion at the Camp Half-Blood. Zeus was beside the Hermes table, all but Cara trying to get away from it. Cara was looking pale and looked at the king of the gods with big eyes. Everybody in the camp were in the breakfast, tough it was long forgotten. Everyone's eyes were on the god, not even noticing my presence. "If no one claims the kid as his, I have no choice but to…" He was already summoning his master bolt.

I just couldn't stand the god. I made a wave of pain towards him, using all of my bottled anger. Zeus tough just winced, keeping the shouts within. "You will do no such thing!" I shouted and got everyone's attention. When Zeus' eyes landed on me, he looked like he was trying to eat something very hideous at the same time someone stole his master bolt. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came.

At the same time all of the campers looked at me in wonder. They started whispering and I could only imagine what they were saying. I was in my pajamas. At least you got their attention. Emerald snickered. "Shut up." I mumbled to her and moved my death glare to the other god. He winced a little to my pleasure.

The silence was deafening until, thank the gods, Cara broke it. "Dad?" She said and rose up from the picnic table. She walked towards me, as if she could not believe I was in front of her. "Hey, angel." I told her and smiled warmly, my gaze softening. She smiled back at me and came running towards me. She let out a little laugh and hugged me. I hugged her back, glad she was there.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with a huge smile. "Claiming you." I answered and put some of her hair behind her ear. She looked annoyed and placed it back the way it was before. "Wait, what?" She asked, shocked. I cocked my head to the side. "I'm claiming you, as the king of the gods ordered." I said, venom in my voice. Cara winced a little, looking back at Zeus.

That seemed to make him snap out of it. He looked a little angry and a little scared, and made some huge lightning. In no time, the other Olympians were in the dining pavilion. "Zeus, I was just getting-" Ares started with Aphrodite in his arms, as he saw me. Immediately he looked like he saw a ghost, which I supposed he did. "Y-You!" He managed to get out.

"Are-Are you real?" Poseidon asked, stepping forward. I looked angrily at him, making him stop on his tracks. "Yes I am." I said and tried to control my voice. The other Olympians looked at me in wonder, panic, happiness or hatred. Artemis was close to tears. "Do you forgive me?" Poseidon asked, looking at me with pleading eyes. His voice was just above a whisper, but the pavilion was so silent I heard it.

I looked at him, angry. Tough I managed to hold my tongue and think. He wasn't the one who killed my family. My first child. Or the one who made all my students to go away. Or the one who destroyed my temples, making people afraid of me and finally forgot about me. "If you promise on river Styx not to hurt my girl, I promise to think about it." Poseidon looked beyond relieved. I was certain he was going to cry. In the matter of fact, almost all of the goddesses were crying. "Percy", Apollo said in a raspy voice. "What about us?" He asked and looked at me with his infamous puppy dog- eyes. I sighed but managed to look angry. It felt so natural to be around them, and I had to admit I was glad to see some of the gods. "The same applies to you." I said. I sounded cold even to myself.

Cara grabbed my hand and smiled up to me. "We swear on the river Styx", Poseidon said without hesitation followed with the others closely. "Wait a minute!" Zeus shouted. "YOU-" He pointed a finger at me as if it was not obvious enough. "Were supposed to be dead! Gone! Are you saying that you have lied to us, making a fool out of the Olympians and braking the ancient laws?!" His voice just got louder and louder towards the end. When he stopped, many of the campers were holding their ears, looking pained.

Zeus was standing just a few meters from me, his face red. I couldn't resist the urge, tough I really did. But, I do make some repulsive decisions sometimes. I took my hand off Cara's and stepped forward. Before Zeus could do or say anything, I hit him in the face as hard as I could. All of the campers let out a shocked noice, the Zeus table raising as if to protect their father. "Dad!" I hears Cara say, but I was in my own world for a second. Nemesis had been right, revenge is sweet, even if this was only the first step.

Here we go… Emerald said as Zeus rose back to his feet. He was even redder if possible, holding his bleeding nose. He summoned his master bolt, ready to zap me with all of it force, and before the shocked Olympians could do anything, Emerald appeared. She was in her full-grown form, and let me tell you, she is huge. She roared with all her might right in front of Zeus, making him fall to his butt. He looked shocked, his master bolt forgotten. The Campers screamed as Emerald continued to growl at Zeus.

"Dad, you have a dragon and you never told me?" Cara asked, her voice full of disbelieve. "Yes." I answered, not making it really big. I stepped next to Zeus, Emerald's large teeth just next to me. "Now, Zeus, see? I'm claiming her." I said and made my symbol, my sword with a dragon coiled with its blade. "And now", I continued with a sweet voice. "You swear on the river Styx to leave her alone." I said and smirked when Zeus hastily nodded. "I-I swear." He said with uneven voice.

"Good!" I said, happy. "Now, if you don't mind, I think the campers have to continue with their daily activities." I said and turned my back on the Olympians, Emerald still showing off. "Bye, angel. Call if you need anything." I said and kissed her head. Then I teleported away, taking Emerald with me. I was sure I left all of the gods and campers there, looking at the spot I vanished with open mouths.

Sorry the first one was so short! I made it up to you :) Okay, so, I have a new problem. Who should Percy get an interest on with the gods knowing about him and all? I was thinking about Nelly (made immortal) or Hestia, because she is so kind hearted, but she is maiden. Does any of you have any suggestions? Thank you for reading!
